CORVALLIS, Ore. – Ethan Thompson scored 22 points and Oregon State rallied late to beat UTSA 73-61 on Wednesday afternoon at Gill Coliseum.

But Oregon State took a 53-52 lead on Zach Reichle's basket with 5:28 to go, starting an 11-2 run to make it 62-54 at the 1:51 mark. The Beavers had a two-possession lead the rest of the way.
In its previous three games, Oregon State (3-3) had second-half leads of 10 points (Washington State), 11 (Wyoming) and eight (Portland) but weren't able to hang on.
